Giraldi, a long-time counterterrorism specialist with the CIA, commented on the confirmation by 18-year FBI counterintelligence vet John Cole, who, in a published claim yesterday, acknowledged the existence of a "decade-long investigation" targeting the former third-highest ranking official in the Bush State Department, Marc Grossman, as Edmonds has long maintained. Citing Cole's first-hand experience with the espionage investigations in question, Giraldi told Collins during the interview:

This is something that, presumably, if the mainstream media were interested in it, would be a line of inquiry that would lead to a major investigation. ... I'm a former intelligence officer, I find her very credible. And of course, as a former intelligence officer, I'm normally suspicious of these kinds of stories. In this case, John Cole, who obviously had direct access to the investigations going on, is confirming her story.

NOTE: I'll be sitting in to guest host the nationally syndicated Mike Malloy Show again tomorrow night (Wednesday), and have also scheduled Giraldi as a guest. We'll have him on for a full hour at the beginning of the show (live at 6p PT, 9p ET) and will invite your calls and questions for him at 877-520-1150.

UPDATE 10/1/09: Here's my interview with Giraldi on the Malloy Show last Wednesday (9/30/09). With commercials removed, the "hour" is appx. 38 minutes.

1) That was Peter B. Collins sitting in for Thom. 2) PBC follows BRAD BLOG closely, so I'll give him a pass this time. I know what it's like when you're up against the clock at the end of a segment. 3) I'll give him some hell next time I talk to him. Though I have a feeling you just did!

Perle and Feith would provide the names of those Americans, officials in the Pentagon, to Grossman, together with highly sensitive personal information: this person is a closet gay; this person has a chronic gambling issue; this person is an alcoholic.

Has Sibel even elaborated on how they obtained this information? Gossip? Or is that what warrantless wiretaps were all about, as many of us unpatriotic paranoiacs feared?

Seems Feith and Perle would be a good source of info as to who exactly in the current congress might be compromised. Since they both have such hardons for torturing terrorists, and since they have probably done more harm to America than any terrorist has, surely they would not object to a little sleep deprivation, stress positioning, and waterboarding so that we may find out. In fact, we would have a good opportunity to test out the efficacy of these methods. Flip a coin; winner gets subjected to good old army field manual techniques, loser gets waterboarded (preferably with leftover bong-water). See who divulges more. Grossman, Hastert, et al get subjected to the more effective methods.

Sibel story is to vague not enough source and what she is saying is disinformation she was train by the FBI after all and if she did whistle blow everything she would be dead for revealing everything, because the U.S. kill people who talk against them they have a long history of doing that Sibel is just saying stuff that we know and anyone can prove

The real news IS on the net. You have to be willing to work to get the whole story. You have to cross check references and get background on the writers to see who pays them and what their connections are so you can see where they are coming from.

The number of people who have the time or desire to do this is very very limited.

Sadly the MSM is corporate compromised. Not that many people are watching that either.

Too many people are getting their "news" from viral emails in 36 point purple type. Everyone of those I have researched due to the ridiculous claims they have made have turned out to be false. When I try to show the recipients of these emails the evidence they don't want to see it.

Since Brad really does his research and is supported by donations from individuals and not major corporations or political parties I have more trust in this blog than any other I have come across.

Sibel Edmonds' deposition is about more than just the actions of the Turks in 1915, it's about the infiltration of foreign agents and selling nuclear secrets on the black market today. Now why would anyone be afraid of Sibel Edmonds? Perhaps, if the details were widely reported by the MSM, there would be an outcry for investigations.

Remember what Mark Twain said many years ago: "There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." Investigations into Sibel's deposition would only confirm that this is true and that serious changes are required inside our government.

Hee-hee-hee. That's so funny I had to laugh. You're named Prove It. You say her story is too vague. But you end by saying she's just "saying stuff that we know and anyone can prove". Well I'm guessing that maybe you do know (and maybe you don't, but its not all stuff I know). But I don't have to prove it to you because anyone can prove what she's saying, according to you. So prove it for yourself.

My advice, don't tie your tail to Sibel's kite. There's something phony about her. Think of the mud on Pepper's fans' faces after the planned destruction of his MLK stance took place.

And that's a comment from Jack. Is that the same Jack of beanstalk fame? Anyway, I don't know if anyone here is tying their tail to Sibel's kite. I don't even have a tail to tie. Maybe you could go fly a kite. Alright that was rude but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. It was just so obvious. So obvious.
